Satyajit Ray's super sleuth Feluda enjoyed many things besides his Charminar ciggies and meetha paan. Feluda, Topshe and Lalmohan Babu have sampled food from all over the country, be it Lucknow's Sandila Laddoo or hot chocolate at Keventer's. Here are some of Feluda's big favourites

During his holidays Feluda would usually end his meals with a meetha paan. In Kolkata, his go-to haunt would be the paanwala next to the now-defunct New Empire cinema

Feluda loves his sweets and rabdi-jalebi is a big favourite with him, particularly the one found in Hanuman Haluikar's store in Varanasi's Kachori Lane

Feluda was no tea snob; besides premium teas, he also enjoyed the classic railway station chai along with railway canteen food
